Don't judge or anything, I need a few simple macros for a destro lock, and I'm terrible with macros. I want to cast 2 spells at once. What's the code to do so properly?

You'll have to be more specific. You can't cast two spells "at once" unless one or both is off the GCD. If they're on the GCD, you can use a modifier (alt, shift, ctrl). If they are spells you always use one after another, you can use a castsequence, but it's fairly limited. A macro can't choose which spell to cast based on cooldowns, debuffs, buffs, etc.

Hi there, hunter here. I'd like a macro that makes my pet attack the target im targeting (switch to it if its not already on it), then cast Kill Command. Example (I know its not the right commands but its what I'd like it to do). That way, my pet will go on the correct target without having to manually tell him every time. Saves time & utility. Any input?

Ah, so what if the taint was not their (ie on reload) would it be doable or not? as a means to swap talents quickly without having to open the talent window.

Unless there's a slash command for it that I've missed, no. The problem is that applying/removing talents is a protected function and cannot be called from insecure (non-Blizzard) code. Macro code isn't secure, so you can't call it from there (well, you can call it, but it won't do anything).

Just because you are faster at keybinds does not mean everyone else is.

Normally I'm an advocate for playing whichever way you prefer (seriously, about half of my posts contain something like "it depends" or "do whichever you like") but clicking buttons simply does not fall into that category. I'm not saying you can't be a successful player at it, but it is definitively worse. You may think you can click faster than you can press keybinds, but there are two problems. First off, you probably actually cannot, which is due to the way muscle memory works in reaction to stimuli. It may take practice until keybinding is faster for you, but it WILL be faster. Second, if you are clicking buttons on your action bar, you can't simultaneously change targets and you can't simultaneously mouse turn. If you use grid and clique to heal, you can't use quick abilities on non-targets by clicking your action bars (think Hand of Sac, Hand of Protection, LoH, Pain Suppression, Leap of Faith, Swiftmend, etc).

Pvp is a little different because you can have macros for your specific arena teammates, which most of the top players do. Personally I wish I could employ that method but I don't focus on pvp enough that its worth it.

Qft.
Keybinding helps you do other stuff with your mouse, including the possibility to use mouseover macros, something I use as a healer, dps and tank and in pve as in pvp. I use Q E 1 2 3 4 R F Y/Z X C V, if that's of interest. All the versatility I need with a standard keyboard and a simple 3button mouse (I'm not at home a lot, so I play a lot on my laptop).
My main point against clicking spells is that there's absolutely no way (physically already) that you can click something on your screen, click a spell/macro, move the cursor to a position in the screen again with no delay compared to not moving your mouse fromthe screen and pressing a button.
Let's say you can click spells as fast as you could press keys (which is doubtable, because you have more fingers than cursors) - the moving of the cursor from screen to action bar and takes a nonzero amount of time that you do not have with keybinds.
Try it out for yourself, you will not be disappointed.

No point mentioning these bats, I thought. The poor bastard will see them soon enough.

I need help making a macro. I want to make something that will cast Flying Serpent Kick, and if I have different modifiers pressed down it'll do different /yells. Specifically "URSA KICK!" And "WHOOSH!". Help?

Hey, I'm getting into Challengemodes atm and I'm kinda annoyed by the /reloadui bug you sometimes get while respeccing talents. Is there a macro to do this? Not switching talent specs, but the talents.

Im looking for a macro that will change the spell depending on what talent I've chosen. For example:

In Mage's talent tree tier one; If I'm specced in Scorch, I want the macro to show tooltip for scorch if I mouse over it and cast scorch when I press it. If I'm specced into Presence of Mind, I want it to show tooltip for PoM when I mouse over it and cast it when I press it. If I'm specced into Icy Floes, it shows that spell...

I also need a macro for the other tiers, but I guess I can just replace the spell's name in the macro for each tier.
